Re: Non-GFI NSTs



Original poster: "Harold Weiss" <hweiss@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Matthew,

No I don't need a passport to get them from France as they are in Tenn.  But
some of the local sign shops are smashing the insulators on the used ones to
prevent reuse.  Thus it's getting hard to get the larger NSTs from shops
without GFI.  The last time I went used NST shopping they had a 40x48 crate
of all types of non-GFI NSTs with smashed terminals.  Luckily that trip
netted me a 15/60 and a 12/60 new in the box that were in a canceled sign
box headed for the scrapyard.
